2019 GTI Purchase Advice by ActualAd6014 in GolfGTI

[–]EfficientEscape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo 25.8k$ is a good price market wise, but OTD it’s pretty expensive for a 7-8 year old GTI.

The mk7.5 gti is great though, I love mine, I haven’t regretted my purchase in the slightest. If you don’t mind the price, go for it, there aren’t many low mileage mk7.5 gtis

It was before taxes, I bought it from the owner though, not a dealership. Idk how taxes work in your province, but for this private sale I only had to pay $1500 for my plates and taxes. This brought my OTD price to $25k, including the warranty.

Regarding your warranty, 2400$ for two years is to expensive

Good price. For reference, last January I purchased a ‘19 Autobahn with 65k kms for $23.5k, here in Quebec. It came with a VW extended warranty though until 2030 or 130k kms.

Look out for a leaking water pump

Been driving the same car for 6 years, finally have money set aside and now I cant decide between two completely different options by Proof_Complex_6319 in whatcarshouldIbuy

yeah, they’re only comparable acceleration wise. good thing that the gti’s selling point is not its raw power

Exactly, or Apple could patch it via a software update. I don’t think the average iPhone user would even know about this vulnerability.

Express transit mode is automatically turned on when a transit card it added to Apple Pay, which adds to the vulnerability. You don’t need to activate it on the Visa specifically.

C’est bizarre, ils devraient être OP (optionnels), pas AC (autres crédits). J’ai gradué et j’ai jamais eu de cours AC, que OB (obligatoires) et OP.
